About the trip

Join Solos on an exciting city break to Valencia – once called the ‘City of Joy’.

Spain’s third largest city is widely regarded as the birthplace of paella, with some referring to it as the current resting place of the Holy Grail.

It is a wonderous metropolis to experience and enjoy, with the added thrill of visiting at a time of the spectacular finale to the Grand Valencia Fair; the ‘Battle of Flowers’.

Join your fellow solo travellers to explore the Ciutat Vella – Valencia’s historical centre. We’ll stroll through an atmospheric tangle of narrow lanes and orange tree-lined plazas to uncover some of the city’s key attractions, including the Cathedral, the UNESCO listed ‘La Lonja de la Seda’ (Old Silk Exchange) and colourful and curious Central Market.

We will also visit the futuristic ‘City of Arts and Sciences’ with its picturesque surrounding parklands – one of the most prestigious and well-known sites of modern architecture in Europe.

So with exquisite architecture both ancient and modern, beautiful parklands, amazing culture and world-famous cuisine, this captivating Spanish gem of a city is definitely a place you should include on your travel wish list.
